Birthday Dinner Round 2

So, there is a round 2 for my bday this year... On the real date itself, Frederick came up to me and asked me how I wanna celebrate, because I've got assignment due the next day, I said why not make it another day, then he say come on lar, he already told Derek to come along, and even San San, but San San cannot join us for the dinner... So I said it's ok, we'll decide where to have dinner after our lectures. So, me and him meet up at 6 at Rutherford House, then wait for Derek to show up. Meanwhile, we and him are still deciding where to have dinner..... I then suggested that I wanted to eat at HK BBQ(cause haven't been there since I got back to NZ). Then this Frederick said huh, really wanna go there ar... Ish.... Then I asked him where he wanna eat then... He couldn't make decision as well, so we listed a bunch of restaurant so we can choose... LOL, in the end, we decided to go to Seoul House.....While making decision, San San and Derek showed up. Then Derek said he wanna play footsal before going for dinner, and the reason he wanna play footsal is because he have never tried the one on the 1st floor one (uni provided a footsal machine at the second floor in Rutherford House)... Mao lit.... So all four of us move upstairs to play the footsal....

The after the 'match', we went to Seoul House to makan. We each ordered our own dish. Then I saw Kay came in... LOL.... Kesihan him... Always sees him alone for dinner...

 

~Me, holding up a menu~

~The side dish where you can refill unlimitedly~

~I like this seaweed the best!!~

~Our meal~

After the dinner, Frederick said if we should blow the candle in the shop, and I strongly said no!!! Being a very ordinary and humble person as I am, no way I want the whole shop know.. Then, Frederick suggested that we can go to Oriental Bay... My gosh, that night was so friggin cold and he still had the right mind to suggest to go to Oriental Bay.. Then Frederick suggested again that we could go to the place behind the City Library. And we all agreed, cause is so much closer... LOL...

~Night view of the place~





~Frederick bought me 2 slices of cake~



~Candle lighted cake~

After blowing candle and finished the cake, me and Derek teman Frederick to the bus stop to wait for his bus, and after sending that big kid off, me and Derek walked back home (he live near me) and me continue battling with that darned assignment!!!!

Birthday Pot Luck

Mua ka ka ka ka... My b'day is finally here!!!!! Another year older... Sad.... Anyhow, Nicole suggested earlier that to have a pot luck at her place to celebrate my bday. So those who turn up was me and Nicole (of course), then got Minwei (of course also, coz she live with Nicole), and Emma and her cousin!!!!! there are 5 of us, and because every one are going to cook at Nicole's place, so, Nicole asked us to go to her place at different time.

As were suggested we do pot luck, the menu for that day is superb!!!! High calories and protein not to mentioned, but taste very very nice!!! I made a mushroom dish, errr, kinda the hakka way.. I prepared the stuffing before going to Nicole's place, then do the stuffing at her place and deep fry it..... Then after the dish is done, sigh, every one tried a bit, then tray a but again then agian and again, lol, only left half when we all sit down together and eat...

~Finished stuffing and coating it with a layer of flour~




~Finished product, but still need to fry before it's edible~


~The final product!!! Looks golden brown, nice!!!!~

OK! Then it's Nicole's menu.... Her menu is ~~~~~~~~~~ PRAWN MEE!!!!!!! Yoo Hoo!!! Seriously, her prawn mee taste very alike!!! And she also prepared the belacan!!! OMG, Nicole, you're the best!!!! Mua ha ha ha ha.... And Emma tried the prawn mee for the 1st time, she was so so so shock that it tasted so nice!!! Ha ha ha ha... Not just the soup did taste like the ori one, but the taste also... Yummmmmy....

~JUST look at it, and you are already mouth watering~


~The essentials for the prawn mee~

~Couldn't go without the eggs and chicken floss with prawn mee~

~Setting up to eat the prawn mee~

Then go to Emma's dish for the day. She and her cousin made the pork leg. It's really really tasty, taste quite like the 纸包鸡, I like that dish a lot!!! Need to learn it before I go back to KK to cook for Mosquito them all... The preparation is quite easy, just need some time to bake it...

~Emma frying the leg before setting it into the oven~

~After finish baking it, Emma cuts it into piece, man, the aroma lingers the whole place~

Minwei made us radish cake, and of course, make from radish... I don't know how she prepared it, cause when I reach Nicole's place the radish cake are already baking in the oven... Too bad....

~It looks ordinary, but it taste fine!!!~

And of course, how could you not have a birthday cake for the event?! The cake is prepared by Emma and her cousin. They, ermm, kinda DIY the cake. They bought 2 pieces of plain cake from New World, they brought a pack of strawberries, cans of peaches and mixed fruits, and also whipped cream. And not to forget the chocolate fingers.... Everything goes alright, until Emma tried to spray whipped cream on to the cake. Guess what, the cream started to melt.. LOL...

~The cake in making progress~

~Look how tempting is the strawberries!!!~

~Ta Da! The finished cake!~

So, when everything is finished, we setted up the table and start feasting!!!!

~The table setted before feasting!!!~

After having a great dinner, the cake was brought out... Then putting in the candles, and when comes to lighting the candle, then only we found out that none of us had a lighter or matches. So, Nicole and Emma went next door to see if they have lighter... And luckily, they have... Nicole and Emma them all sang me birthday song.. Seriously, I was quite touched that time, cause in the previous years, some time my parents and even myself would forget my own birthday... Then, Nicole handed me a present. Well, the picture of the present I will upload next time. After making wish and blowing candles, given that we had a heavy meal just now, we manage to finish the all of the cake in 10 min!!! Yup, finished the cake in 10 min!!!! And we were quite shocked oneself also.... LOL!!!!

~Putting the candles on~

~Lighting up the candles~

~Putting the whole tin of whipped cream onto the cake~

~Lol, nice nice punya cake jadi macam ni, but still taste great!!~




~The left over of the cake, and it was finished in 10 min~

So after the meals and cakes, Nicole brought out a bottle of wine. We have a beer each during the dinner. Err, don't if Minwei is drunk or not, but she looked very very very super red after a can of beer and gotten worst after a cup of wine. We tried to play truth and dare afterwards, but tak jadi, so only lay around to chat...

~Emma accidently spilt Nicole's cup of tea, and the spillage looks like a devil, LOL~

My Everyday Dinner

I never like eating alone... I prefer to eat with my family... My family are never quiet when we eat dinner, and everybody will share their everyday things together during that time... And we can laugh so hard out for dad's joke. And plus, Mum's cooking so so delicious!! So, when I come back to NZ, I need to cook myself, sigh... My cooking can't compared to my mum's... It's hard to cook for a person's person. Well, need to cook nice thing for my own..... Heh... Below is what I usually cook for dinner.

~Clay Pot, or should say, Rice Cooker Rice, >.<~

~Chicken Porridge~



~Butter Chicken, but not nice as you got in the restaurant~

~Fried Udon, I like this a lot~

~Fried Salmon, with miso~

~Cucumber with egg, and along miso soup~

A Night Out To Movie

Went to see a movie on Tuesday with Nicole and MinWei. After class, I went to Nicole's place to wait for time to pass. Once reach her place, had some chinese style stir fry spagethi made by Nicole, very nice. Oh ya, the other day she made cheese cake, that one was superb!!! Then boring until have to watch 6 years old punya TV programme, then watch Simson before going out to movie.

We bought ticket before going to have dinner. We went to watch X-Men The Origin that night. We gave MinWei money to buy ticket all together. Heh, our seats were D1-3, and Nicole thought it was behind, who know seat A start from the screen... My god, when watching the movie so damn suffering, the screen was so so so huge... LOL!!!

~X-Men The Origins~

After bought the ticket, we went to have dinner at the food court in the cinema. We had Japanese food. I've ordered Teriyaki set, and my goodness sake, the whole set salty until mum also cannot recognise... Ha ha... But overall the whole meal was quite good despite the saltiness...

~My set of Teriyaki, yum~

~Nicole's set of meal, fried chicken~

My Newest Interest

Heh, went on a stroll in the city during holidays. Then, walked into the Swarovski. Since a kid, I'm interested in crystal, but those crystals that I ever saw was just a very normal coloured crystal. Dunno why, after going in to the Swarovski shop, I just couldn't leave my mind free of crystals... Sigh... I like their porducts a lot!!!

~I never like shiny and complicated design ring, but I really like this one~

~Man, I really like this watch~

~Sigh, really nice, when can I buy it myself?~

~Phone strap, nice and simple~

Sigh, wonder if I could have enough money to buy... If you ask me, I prefer crystals than diamond, for no reason, I never liked diamond, and I don;t know why so many girls liked diamonds...

Frederick's Birthday Picnic

First of all, Happy Bday Fred!!! He had his bday on the 22nd of April in Botanic Garden. Me and Fred meet up around 10.45 am that day to buy things that are needed for the picnic. Then headed to the Botanic Garden by Cable Car. After the whole picnic, where the others has gone back, Fred make me and Derek teman him for a while more until his uncle comes to get in at Lambton Quay. So, we went to the Queens Warf and walk around.
